Radio in El Salvador

From Solidarity Action Network, 13 December 1995. The
Salvadoran National Civil Police (PNC) closed the stations
and confiscated the equipment. Most of the stations
operated with very low-power, are owned by their
municipalities or associations, are participatory and
educational in nature and strive to serve the poorer
sectors of the population.

CoCo Development Alernatives, 13 September 1996. An
exemplary legal framework for democractic rights in the
area of telecommunications was excluded from the bill
pushed through by ARENA. The passage of the law will set
an unseemly precedent that hurts, among others, the
principle of freedom of expression, the freedom of
business, and it puts independent radio and television
broadcasting under the risk of being submitted to tricky
politicians.
